do you have to feed triggers hard shells to keep there teeth filed like you do with pufers?
They chew on enough rock and sand I think...monsters
. Mine always have anyway.

Cause they're triggers and that's what they do best...bite stuff
. I have a niger that does not do it nearly as much as my picasso, but for my picasso...that is all he does all day long. They like to arrange things to their liking. My rock is too big so it can't move that, but I have sand EVERYWHERE.

which triggers stay the smallest? can any be kept in a 90g long term?
Huma...an Undulate by itself...probably others these two popped into my head first though.
Your sargassum would probably do fine in there as well. I would not put much of anything else fish wise with them maybe one or two depending on size. Putting aggression aside...when they become full grown they will produce alot of bio-waste.
A niger would not work...fairly fast growers, and would become too large for a 90 IMO.

Picasso's are very slow growers, but nigers grow quickly. My niger has probably gained an inch or more in the last 6 months, where as my Picasso has probably only grown 1/2" if that in the past year. I would think a blue throat would be fine in a 90.

Picaso A.k.a The dealer of death, the bringer of pain , The unholy one.
My picaso is a kitty cat next to my niger he is evil .
The humu are slow growing.... The niger's grow fairly fast . I have mine in a 90 and they are both around the 4-5" mark and there is no real aggression issues "YET"
I am sure it wont be long though before they start going at it .

Yeah my niger is growing almsot 2x faster than everyone else in my tank. My clown, picasso and blue jaw are all about the same size 2.5" long, though my niger now is a little over 4" (all the same size when i got them)

My picasso has always been cranky, but my niger until recently was pretty calm...now he is becoming jaded. I have them in seperate tanks...tried to put my niger in with my picasso...as soon as I did my picasso was right there to rock face. I won't be trying that again.
